They make you stop faster if the problem was overheating the rotors! Stopping multiple times from 140mph+ is not what I consider street use. There's a lot of misleading info in here about brakes. Yeah, for street use a regular Z32 setup is more than enough, and Brembos and big disk kits are overkill. But if you start doing crazy shit, you're going to want more brakes and more brake cooling.
Slow down, Burgy! Don't you know that EVO brakes are a hack because they use relocation brackets??!!
Maybe I took the wrong approach, initially. Yes, maybe relocated Z32 kits are a hack. This is opinion. Yes, relocated Z32 kits increase braking (cooling and torque). This is fact. I could give 2 shits about opinion; I just want people to have the facts straight.
